BURNER FOR NATURAL GAS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letterelatent No. 345,825, dated July 20,1886.

I Application filed December 17, 1885. Serial No. 186,011. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK BARNHART, a citizen of the United States,residing at Varren, in the county of Varren and State of Pennsylvania,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Burners for NaturalGas; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, andexact description of the same, reference being had to theannexeddrawings, making a part of this specification, and to the lettersand figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a side view of a gas-burner constructed inaccordance with my invention, and Fig. 2 a sectional view thereof.

The present invention has for its object to provide a burner for naturalgas that can be manufactured at greatly-reduced cost, can be cast withcomparatively little trouble and expense, and that will burn the gaswithout producing any smoke or unpleasant odors in a room; and itconsists in the details of con-. struction substantially as shown in thedrawings, and hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, A B represent the two halves or sectionsof the burner, the lower one having a central opening, a, through'whichthe gas passes into the burner.

The two sections A B are interiorly concave, the upper section, A,having a concavity of greater depth, so that when the sections aretogether a chamber will be formed, the greater portion being above thelower section, the gas passing into such chamber and becoming heatedbefore it escapes from the burner.

The concavity of the burner-sectionA is of peculiar shape, it having aswell, 1), around its sides, thus not only increasing the area ofheating-surface, but more effectually conducting the gas to theescape'openings of theburner.

The section A is formed with legs c,depending from the edge of thesection and extending around its entire circumference. Thus when the twosections are connected together and the legs 0 rest on the edge of thesection B 5 inclines upwardly, as shown at e, as does also the edge ofthe section A, as shown at f, the ends of the legs being inclined tocorrespond with the inclined edge 0, upon which they rest.

Three or more of the legs 0 are extended, or

of increased length, to fit in mortises g in the lower section, andscrews or other means of fastening may be employed for securely holdingthe burner-sections together.

Having now fully described my invention,

what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The natural-gas burner described,consisting of the base B, havinggasinlet a, upwardly-inclined ledge e, and vertical sockets g, and thecap or dome A, having short legs 0, to form intervening spaces withupwardly-inclined roofs, and having long legs f, which engage thesockets g of the base to lock the parts together, as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.

FRANK BARNHAR'I.
